Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 2 Week 1 | Promote Steem in your City and try to recruit a new user by @yousafharoonkhan

### Aslam-mu-Alakum!

First of all, I would like to thank the steemalive community for embellishing the contest with my favorite topic. Promoting steemit and promoting steemit in my district, city, friends, relatives is my passion. I have written many posts on this topic and today I will express my views through this contest.

What methods did you use in promoting Steem (e.g word of mouth, social media, etc

My steemit lecture style

I started working on steemit in 2017 and I started promoting steemit regularly from 2019 and at that time I have been promoting steemit by sharing various posts on facebook and twitter and youtube. There are people around the world who use different social media at my friends' gatherings and at different events. I inform them about steemit.

But in all of these my favorite method is the lecture method and I promote steemit using the lecture method in schools and in different parties, because in this way I can reach more than one person in a better way and in detail in one to two hours. Provides basic information about steemit.

During this time I also answer the questions of the audience so I like the lecture method for more than one person or twenty people.

Did you use any Promotional materials and branding? (fliers, Branded Tshirts, Banners, etc)

Of course I use banners during steemit promotions. I made ten big banners and I distributed these banners to the members of Urdu community so that they could promote steemit through them.

I have made pamphlets in addition to banners and so far I have distributed three thousand pamphlets. I have 100 pamphlets left and I ordered two more banners ten days ago.

In this way I am promoting steemit through banners, pamphlets and steemit flyer. I pay all the expenses and travel expenses out of my own pocket for promoting steemit and I have never appealed to Urdu community or steemit team.

But I am thankful to the steemit team that today I am promoting steemit through Urdu community because of their encouragement.

How did people respond to your promotion efforts?

A very difficult question is how the public reacts when we tell them about steemit. Whenever I tell my friends or the public about steemit, the attitude of some people is very sad and sometimes even derogatory words are used.

Some people even call us deceivers. Such people say that we have some greed from them and we are inviting them because of this greed. But the attitude of many people is very encouraging and it is this enthusiasm that inspires me to promote steemit. Some people are very happy and very appreciative.

In this way I would say that all kinds of people interact with steemit during promotion but I am right that promoting steemit is my obsession. If I am hurt by someone's behavior, I will be patient. In this way, the tradition of those who say good words and praises gives me more strength and power.

What are the main challenges that hinder users from joining?

In this regard, if we talk about the challenge faced by hinders users who are afraid of them while joing, then the biggest challenge today is the rising cost of living and the Internet is becoming very expensive. In addition, not everyone has access to a computer and mobile internet is becoming more expensive.

I've seen it closely during promotions that a lot of people don't believe that steemit offers its users a lot of financial support. In addition, today's rising prices, expensive internet packages and mobile phones are no less of a challenge for hinders users.

There are many people who are very much affected by steemit but cannot afford mobile packages due to poverty. So there are a lot of challenges that affect our promotion campaign in different ways. But whatever the challenge, I try to keep promoting Steemit and that is my passion.

Where you able to sign up new users? If yes, how did you convince them to join?

I have been promoting Steemit for a long time and I have informed people from all walks of life about Steemit. I have noticed that when we go to people who are in need and unemployed and want to make money through online work, it is easy to find such people. If we take the message of steemit to rich, prosperous and economically strong people then such people do not care about us.

Unemployed, students, educators, photographers and bloggers are my target because they are the ones who value listening. I tell students that if they are registered on steemit, they can write their educational activities in the form of post. Journalists can earn money by writing their daily articles.

The teacher can keep the students attached to the steemit by giving academic assignments to his students on the steemit. In this way, through all these things, I try to guide every individual so that he can benefit by joining Steemit.

What are the main challenges you faced during Steem Promotion
Suggest ways we can overcome challenges to Steem Promotion

There are many challenges that I have encountered and continue to face while promoting Steemit. The biggest challenge is to get the message across to the people. Because sometimes when I go to a public place, people don't give me time to listen and this is a waste of time and money. One of the biggest challenges I've seen is that when I distribute steemit fliers to people, some people refuse to take it.

I think banners, pamphlets are very important for steemit promotion campaign. But when it comes to spending on promotional materials, this is also a challenge.

Another big challenge is that if a man joins the steemit, he thinks that now we have to vote for him, then if any user does not get support on the steemit then he gets angry. I traveled to remote areas during the winter with members of my Urdu community and the purpose of this trip was to promote steemit.

During this journey many women joined Steemit and they are still active on Steemit. But on this trip we spent three days in this area and first we prepared the minds of these people and then we promoted steemit.

In short, there are many challenges that are faced during the awareness campaign. Here are some suggestions on how to look or get an appointment for antique items. - First of all, encourage a lot of people on steemit who promote steemit.

The steemit team needs the best encouragement from any user who is promoting steemit around them and whatever community they belong to so that they can be strong and continue to do so.

In order to promote steemit, the steemit team should prepare some material itself and then select steemit promoters in different countries and distribute the material to the people so that they can continue the campaign through it. Or vote on the post of such steemit user and from this reward promotion material should be prepared so that steemit user is encouraged.

steemit team If a new user's post gets a good vote daily or weekly, it will also be a great encouragement. Because reward encourages. So these were some of my suggestions in this regard. I hope you like it

If possible you, try hard to recruit one user and assist them to do their introduction post. This will also help you to score higher Take pictures with your recruit if any

A few days ago I gave an awareness lecture on steemit to the students of class Dham. During that time many students said that they will join steemit after the annual examination.

On May 7, I contacted some students that now You have finished the annual exam and everyone should join steemit now, then one of my students whose name is Saleem Gul joined steemit a day ago and I helped him to create his account. He has also posted his achievement 1 post in which full introduction.

I also took this selfie with my newly recruited student. Thank you all very much for reading my post and if you like my effort let me know in the comments. Your encouragement will be my strength.
